Great entry and wonderful message/theme!
Awesome that you did your own graphics and music. The music was a bit over-powering, but the piano theme for the fire worked really well.
A few notes!
- The viewport size was glitched and small.
- To make the chopping sounds less monotonous, you could slightly pitch bend each one within a small range, or record several chopping sounds.
- I wanted to pause and take some notes, but there was no pause. Tiny thing but would have been nice!
- Reading the other comments, I do think some indication of how to approach foresting to contain the fire would have been nice. I chopped the nearest trees in an expanding circle, and when the fire took over pretty quickly, there wasn't a clear indication that there was another way and I figured that was just the extent of it!
Great work!
